EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF SYSTEM DYNAMICS BASED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS: PRELIMINARY STUDY

摘要

This paper reports results of preliminary study for developing a methodology on evaluating impacts of system dynamics based learning environments. Specifically causal loop mapping tool is suggested to determine the impacts of system dynamics learning on dynamic problem understanding. During the preliminary study was developed a tool for testing the understanding of the structure of system underlying a dynamic problem. The pilot experiment determined some means of characterising the complexity of a dynamic system and how the performance of the subjects can be evaluated and compared with the characteristics of the system.
